If my friends from Baltimore are watching - I love you guys and I'm sorry we haven't been back. But a friend asked if I had food tips and I said I'd break out anything I had. However, I needed an assist from Yelp, it's my favorite app when traveling.

1. The Helmand
806 N Charles
Every city's got one, and Baltimore's on Charles is awesome (4/5 Yelp). My favorite was the pumpkin appetizer (aushak?). You could order only this and leave immensely satisfied.

3. Mount Royal Tavern
1204 W Mount Royal Ave
4/5 on yelp, it should be 1/5
Dumpy and local, I lived around the corner from this and went frequently. Look for this on flickr and see the images of the ceiling.

4. John Steven
1800 Thames St
Touristy but I loved it. Eat shrimp w Old Bay and enjoy Fells Point

9. Go and Google Pit Beef in Baltimore and make sure you get some for breakfast.

10. Martick's
I'm so sorry, you missed it. Martick died last year as did a little part of all the patrons who enjoyed a meal with him. Go read some of the reviews on Yelp, suprisingly, some of the comments capture how special it was. So, so sad it's closed.
